HI,

I have tried this hack a long time ago and it did not seem to work for what i wanted and im not sure if it will even do what im looking for so i was wondering if someone could help me and let me know if it will do what i am looking for.

Ok so what i am looking for is use the my location on google maps.

i would like to open it up and see me as a mrker moving down the road.

Is this what the GPS unlock will allow me to do?

Thanks,

Joe

Any advise or help is greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slapdaddy:
Well start up Google Maps and then select Options and select Use GPS. The GPS on the phone will start and will eventually lock onto satellites. I don't know how long it will take for you to lock onto them but be patient, they will eventually. Then go for a ride and see yourself moving along the road. :)

Edit: Also might want to take a look at this

my location doesn't work on verizon.

if you unlock your gps, gps will work with google maps.

but yeah, u will have to wait for it to lock to gps, you can't use the triangulation thingy ma bob like on at&t

I've tried practically everything I've found. Telus cab file, QPST method, changed registry settings, etc. Nothing seems to work. So, I'm hoping someone here can tell me what I am doing wrong or what I am missing.

Phone: XV6800

Carrier: Verizon

Radio: 3.42.50

D: 3.56

P DXAAXAM-4350H

I am running Build 21501 (via this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497303)

Location On is set

GPS Port is 4, hardware port is NONE, baud rate is 4800, Manage GPS Automatically is checked

I've done the QPST Configuration thing a few times with different IP addresses/port numbers (Verizon, Telus, some other ones) and none seem to work. At the moment, my settings are:

EnableGPS = 1

EnableGPSSmartMode = 1

EnablePDEIPFrom = 1

GPSMode = 1

NumberFixes = 999999999

QoSAccurace = 50

QosPerformance = 89

ServerIP = 216.198.139.92

ServerPort = 8889

TimeBetweenFixes = 1

I am using Google Latitude ("Use GPS" is checked and "Managed by Windows" is selected) and it just sits at "Seeking GPS satellites(0)" regardless of where I am located (home/work/inside/outside/etc).

I am guessing that either I need a different radio, different IP/Port or my device actually has some hardware issue.

Can anyone help me?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Try to use something like htc gps tool or gpsvier to see your status. Also in those programs see if you see red dots on the satelitte view. If not I bet location is off or you are using a custom rom and did not rool back to pregps verizon rom before going custom. Verizon blocks gps with mr1 on custom. So do below directions.

Here is the easiest way to fix your vx6800's gps.

Here buddy, you want to follow my guide. This is the way I fixed my vx6800's gps when a verizon ROM upgrade locked out the gps. Just read it and follow it perfectly and you will have no problems from then on.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3687027&postcount=144

This method has helped me, and many others out. I made the steps to be easy for almost anyone to follow. I also provide the downloads.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JimmyGene:
Hi-

I believe the following are the correct settings for Verizon:

ServerIP=66.174.95.132

ServerPort=8888

And don't forget that after you do the setup using QPST you must edit the registry and change settings there. I have had no trouble on my Verizon XV6800 using QPST and getting the GPS to work. I have the same radio as you and the same ROM.

There are tutorials on this forum and on PPCGeeks that provide the complete instructions. This one has worked for me many times. Note that shadow-tech tells you to "see post #2 if you're not on Alltel". There he gives you the settings for Verizon and other carriers:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=Alltel+GPS

Good luck!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] geech72:
It took me almost a month to figure how to get my GPS working. Finally after reading hundreds of post, someone mentioned that when you dial *228 to program your phone the friggin sheisters at verizon use this opportunity to disable the GPS all over again. Relock, flash back to MR1, unlock using nue 2.47, flash radio 3.42.50, flash custom ROM of choice ( I am using the newest 6.5 build 21222 from PPC Geeks), DO NOT "update roaming" by dialing *228, and you should be good to go. All of this is a lot easier if you flash from an SD card < 2 GB. Good luck.

P.S. screw Verizon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
Thanks for the input. I went through and did everything you said. I am having issues reinstalling Google Maps (it just pops up an unsuccessful message in the middle of it) but I put Live Search on and it can't get the GPS to lock either. So it seems I am still screwed.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Let me state this again for you. You must roll back to pregps rom before goign custom on a verizon phone. Please follow the link I provided. Also do not use google maps. Use htc gps tool or gps viewer to see your signal. That way you can see if your gps is even trying to get a lock. If you do not see red dots on the satelittle view of either program than you don't have location on or you did not roll back before going custom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
I went to your link and started at step one. When it came time to install the Radio and ROM, I used the 3.42.40 radio and the new 21222 ROM from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=903142

He just updated the rom again last night and I just flashed to that rom to see if it would help. Now I can't seem to install any apps on there anyway so I guess whether the GPS works or not doesn't really matter until I get that fixed.

Everything I try to install tells me it was unsuccessful.

Edit: Actually I am mistaken. Skyfire installed fine.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
And I have downloaded GPS Viewer since the other one wouldn't install and it found the GPS (COM 4, 4800 baud rate) and I click "Open GPS" and my LAT/LON are both 0.0" and it tells me "No Fix".
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Are you outside? Is your data connection active? Did you look in satellite view to see if you see red dots? How long did you wait for a fix?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
I was outside. I saw about 6 boxes with numbers come up below the globe. The only red dot I saw was one right at the "N" on the globe. No fix or lat/lon. I waited for about 3 minutes.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Well you are at least trying to acquire. Maybe try to stay outside longer. And you didn't mention. Was your data connection active.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
I just checked again, making sure the data connection was up (I believe it was before as well). This time, however, I was seeing dots around the globe, not just at "N" adn the value for "Dop" was alternating between 0.0 and 13.1. Still no LAT/LON or Fix, though.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Well it is trying to acquire. Give it some more time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Also being that you are using agps. I kinda doubt the servers adress are right because this is working at standaloen gps speeds. Also maybe install quickgps. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1862269&postcount=2
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
Quick GPS can't download apparently so no help there.

I think I'm going to give up on this for a while. It's just not meant to be.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RyanMogul:
I would say theres a chance the GPS driver in the ROM you are using is a tad buggy. Your GPS at least finds satellites just never gets a lock correct? If you cant get a lock its because you are using a vx6800 make sure your ERI is version 4? Make sure to use QPST to uncheck all the agps boxes in the GPS one tab and then recheck them? ex: all blank [ ], then all [X], then double check your port, ip, and position calculation (dont leave that page write to phone while still in GPS one tab.) Boot ROM back up and double check your registry settings for aGPS, then last thing you can try is putting GPS in standalone mode. By setting Gpssmartmode to 0 enable agps to 0 and gps mode to 1, soft reset and try again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
Thanks for the info. I'll try it and let you know what happens.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
You have to run the registry changes that are listed on the page I gave you. That fixes the download problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
So I put the thing in standalone mode and it works! I am not sure what that means, but it works, so I won't complain. Thanks for all your help everyone!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
It means you just have your ip address info for agps incorrect or an inactive data connection.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Derezzed:
The data connection should be fine. Is there a way to enforce that the connection is open for aGPS?

As for the ip addresses. I am using: 216.198.139.92 and 8889 as the ip/port combo for Verizon. I've gone through about 3 different ones depending on what I read on web sites. If those are incorrect and you have the ones I should be using, please let me know.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Did you do those updates in qpst? and the registry?

If I run Google Maps the GPS searches and searches but no fix.

Hi SciLor,

this is really good work. I like it! But some little things I miss

There are some notes :) :

- the graphs in graph screen may go from left to right (now it is from right to left, usually it goes the other way, I think)

- numbers of entries are reversed too (the last have nr.1, but the first is changing with every next entry)

- in statistics and graph screen I miss some filters (sort or view by year, month, week) and possibility to export it under this filter

- in graphs I miss units on X/Y axis - graph only show a curve, there could be also shown high and low peaks (with optional view of the date or value of peak)

- in add screen the date could have the same ordering like distance and fuel, or only one step ordering

- for multiple car users will be good option to compare costs and consumption of their cars on one screen

I am not programmer, only user, so I don't know how difficult these changes are. Hope that my notes helps you.

Thank you so much again for your hard work!!! ;)

Other thing to be added

In my case I noticed that according to gas stations my consumption of fuel varied while driving in the same way and that the seasons also had an influence on the consumption.

It would maybe be good to be able to choose in a list the name of a gas station and to be able to have the graph following the mark of the gas station. It would be good for us ! This impartial for a mark or the other one.

What do you thing about this?
